Maeve Butcher

Vessel of Shadows

After losing everything, Daron Lamb is consumed by grief and guilt, until he's recruited by the Special Magic Force, an elite unit protecting the balance between magical and non-magical worlds. Together, they uncover a secret organization determined to free the God of Chaos, a force sealed away to protect humanity. As Daron investigates, he uncovers a chilling link between the group and his tragic past. Driven by revenge, he joins forces with his new allies to stop them. But as the truth behind the organization’s motives begins to surface, Daron is forced to confront a disturbing possibility: freeing the God of Chaos, though orchestrated by his enemies, might not bring the destruction he's been led to believe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Daron's gaze drifted downward to his chest. Below, the stark contrast of a faint blue light against his white skin caught his eye—a soft glow emanating from his own chest. It softly pulsed, a gentle luminescence that ebbed and flowed with the rhythm of his own heartbeat. Baffled, he just sat there for a few moments, observing. As his fingers touched the source of light, he was surprised to find that everything felt normal, as if it had always been this way. It was like nothing had changed at all. Daron's eyes widened in disbelief when he noticed a strange black liquid seeping into the wounds on his chest—a substance like ink, flowing from within him. It moved with purpose, filling the gaps left by the fat butcher and stanching the flow of blood that had painted his skin red. "By the gods," he gasped, the sight both unsettling and miraculous. The black liquid quickly solidified, forming scars as black as the night sky. His eyes remained fixed on the eerie scene, his breath steadying to a normal rhythm. He was a magician now… it felt strange. He didn't feel particularly different. Sure, a mysterious substance had just mended his broken skin, but other than that, he didn't feel like he could do anything… new, anything special. He stretched out his hand, trying to summon a sharp wind to cut down his shackles. Nothing happened. Next, a flame, to burn down his cell. Nothing happened. “Figures,” he said to himself. “Why would it be easy?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For news and feedback, feel free to join the Vessel of Shadows Discord: https://discord.gg/dmCYCKNwx7

Daughters of the Deadly Sins: Genesis

Eight homunculi girls, who consider each other as sisters, are brought to life in the Netherlands, Zuid-Holland, through advanced genetic engineering, each embodying one of the Seven Deadly Sins: Maeve, a Dutch princess, epitomizes pride; Benesha, of the aristocratic African Badila family, embodies wrath; Haniya al-Bacchus, a Moroccan girl, radiates lust; Mandane Esfahani, a Greek and Persian girl, personifies sloth; Eliza IJzerhart, from the wealthy Dutch IJzerhart family, exemplifies greed; Minah Sawada, a Japanese-Korean girl, manifests envy; and Kayla Graven, of Surinamese and Dutch heritage, represents gluttony. Maria, the eldest, was created without any singular sin, a supposed embodiment of perfection. However, this perceived flawlessness becomes her greatest curse. Shunned by her fourteen parents and seven sisters, Maria discovers she harbors the dormant essence of all seven sins, a power that awakens when she is abandoned. Consumed by grief and existential despair, Maria’s yearning for acceptance mutates into a thirst for vengeance. She questions her existence: was she nothing more than a prototype to ensure her sisters’ creation? Wrestling with rejection and her fractured sense of self, Maria vows to make her family experience the pain and emptiness that has defined her existence. Her quest for vengeance ignites a global catastrophe. Starting at the school she and her sisters attend, Maria unleashes a viral apocalypse, transforming humans into ravenous, vampire-like creatures. As the world crumbles, Maria’s inner turmoil and destructive power become a central challenge—not only for her sisters but also for humanity itself. Tasked with helping the homunculi overcome their sinful natures are Sansula Badila, Benesha’s human younger brother, and his partner, Hannah Katz. Their mission becomes even more urgent as they confront Maria, the most formidable and broken of the homunculi. Will they succeed in reforming Maria and her sisters, or will Maria’s darkness consume them all? Copyright © 2025, Yedidyah Beneki

System Nemesis

Between the howls and wails, the screams and cries of women being raped, and the villagers being eaten and butchered like cattle, there was a middle-aged man who was desperately running away while yelling his lungs out. ''Why.... WHY!!! YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKERS!!!'' His clothes were in tatters and marred in blood, with his body being barely able to function. His state was simply beyond recognition. As for where he was running to... It didn't matter... He just wanted to flee the hellish scene that was unfolding behind him. His remote village, the one he had lived in his entire life, was now a fiery beacon illuminating the night. ''Whyyyyy areeeeeee youuuuuuuuuu runninnnnnnnnnnng awwaaayyyy froooooom usssssssss?'' Terrifying low growls and voices could be perceived behind him, and every time he heard them, his body released adrenaline to try to override its limits, but to no avail as his injuries were just too severe. The humanoid creatures pursuing him were like shadows, barely distinguishable through the cover of the night. Their eyes, akin to black holes, were fixed on their prey as it struggled for its pathetic life. Their faint and sinister giggles kept reverberating through the darkness... *** As blood rushed up his throat and leaked at the corners of his mouth, his sinister appearance aggravated to where he resembled a devil. During his maniacal laugh, his punctured lungs had finally given out, causing his whole body to collapse on the ground and dyeing it a scarlet shade. His mind went blank, while his consciousness left his battered body. *** After what appeared to be a few minutes, he suddenly woke up. He was startled at first, but he soon realized that he had indeed died. Everything around him was black, without an ounce of life in sight. He was basically a spirit floating in the absolute void. ''So this is what happens when you die... You just drift in darkness... That's actually underwhelming. I wonder if I'll just fade away'' When Derrick's thoughts started to drift, a prompt appeared in front of him. [Welcome to System Nemesis, Derrick Tarlin] [Would you like to seek revenge? Yes/No]

Villian's Redemption

Most folks join the military to serve their homeland, defend freedom, or chase after glory and honor. Not Malakar. He joined for two simple reasons: money and women. Sergeant Rock had filled his head with promises: knighthood after the war, the adoration of the masses, men envying him, women flocking to him, and even an estate from the Emperor himself. Sounded like a good deal, right? Turns out, it was complete and utter horseshit. The battlefield didn’t smell like glory—it stank of blood, piss, and rotting corpses. Honor? A joke. What greeted him at every corner was death, endless and indiscriminate. But Malakar was nothing if not a man of his word. Sergeant Rock drilled that into him, right between the sword thrusts and the screaming. So, Malakar endured. He followed orders, slaughtered pig-bloods, butchered witches, and carved up state soldiers—all in the vain hope that Rock’s promises would pan out. Spoiler: they didn’t. Zermania lost the war, the Emperor got himself shish-kebabbed by the Sentinel, and Malakar—the so-called “hero”—was branded an enemy of humanity. Hunted down like a rabid dog, he eventually got himself killed. But death, as it turns out, is more of a suggestion than a rule. Fast forward 500 years, and Malakar’s soul has found a new meat suit. He’s alive, some what free, and determined to be a better man. Easier said than done when all you’ve ever known is war and murder. A little slip-up here, a minor incident there… like accidentally catching the eye of the world’s strongest superhero’s daughter or, oops, killing the heir to the most powerful family in existence. Malakar’s trying, really. But being a better man? Let’s just say it’s a work in progress.

One kick will send you down the icy lake to feed the carps! Assassinate her? Great! Make it so they can't see the sunlight of tomorrow! No problem!

Seeing his frail appearance, she gradually lowers her guard and starts to feel pity for him. She swears that whoever made him like this, she will repay them a thousandfold, no, ten-thousandfold! However, this man seems to be quite different from what she initially thought... ——————————————————————————————— [Scene Appreciation One] "The King, King Jing is pestering the Princess—" "Castrate him." "Young Master Shangguan sends love letters to the Princess—" "Chop them off." "Imperial Concubine is bullying the Princess—" "Dethrone her." "The Demon Domain is seizing our territories—" "Find their master, kill the males, and send the females to the barracks." "King, the Princess is the master of Demon Domain..." "Oh? Make way and give the territories to the Princess!" "Yes..." "Tell the Princess, what's mine is hers——" "This..." "My people are hers, so naturally the same goes for material possessions——" "Uh..." "Didn't the Princess fancy Wuji Palace before? Serve it and send it to her!" "Pfft..." "Ask the Princess what else she likes. If she wants the throne, this King will seize it!" A certain guard collapses with foam at his mouth, convulsing all over. [Scene Appreciation Two] "Miss, there is someone willing to pay a fortune for your husband's head." A man in black clothes respectfully stands outside the red gauze, while inside, a woman affectionately snuggles into the man's embrace. "How much?" The woman chuckles lightly. "Five thousand taels of gold." "What a bargain... My Lord, why don't you give me ten thousand, and we'll call this matter off—." The woman's delicate fingers ignite a series of flames on the man's body. "What if I say no—." The man grips the woman's tender hand and lightly pecks it against his lips. "Qi'er, show no mercy, issue the 'Zhuiming Seal', kill Ghost King and reward ten thousand taels of gold, along with an 'Annual Best Assassin Award'." "Qi'er, are you going to murder your husband?!" "You dare!" New people, new story, thank you for your support!

Child of Fate: The Enforcer

From the beginning of time, the two clans, Deva clan and Asura clan waged war against each other, where Deva's claimed to be on the righteous side whereas the Asuras were deemed to be evil as they committed atrocious acts of butchering innocent lives, meddling in the auspicious events of sages, etc., and staking claim on the throne of Deva Lok. The war has destroyed lives and various Lok's, in the end the three Supreme Gods (God Brahma the Creator, God Vishnu the Preserver and God of Gods who is also known as the Mahadev or God Shiv the Destroyer) had to intervene to stop the senseless war providing the much-needed relief to the common populace of God Realm. All the Deva Clan Members along with Devaraj Indra to the Tridev: "Namostu te Vedagarbha, Sarvavidya Pradayaka" (Salutations to the one who holds the Vedas and grants all knowledge), "Om Namo Narayanaya" (Salutations to Lord Narayana), "Om Namah Shivaya" (Salutations to Shiva, the auspicious one). While the Asuras in the leadership of their leader and Guru, Guru Shukracharya performed Shastanga Namaskara as they did worship God Brahma but for the boons he will give and the Asuras had a particular dislike for God Vishnu as he favors the cosmic balance and is on the righteous side i.e., Devas side but they still showed the much needed respect for one of the supreme beings and Asuras were devoted believer of Mahadev as he is the only one impartial among the three supreme gods. God Vishnu said "Devaraj Indra why must you continue this senseless war with the Asuras? You are King of Gods, King of Swarg Lok then what more do you need from the Asuras when they are confined to their Paataal Lok." Devaraj Indra said with respect "Lord Vishnu it was them who were creating chaos among the sages intervening in the sage's meditation and destroying livestock, so I had to confront them." Hearing Devaraj Indra slandering the Asuras in front of the Three Supreme Gods while not mentioning the mistreatment of Asuras done by Devas, the Asura Guru Shukracharya too said " Mahadev you have to uphold justice for the Asuras, we were just banished to the Paataal Lok from the beginning while the Devas got to rule the Swarg Lok. Why can't we Asuras get the same treatment as they do? And this war was started by the Asuras and Devas jointly but only we are blamed here." Hearing the Asura Guru Shukracharya, the Three Supreme Gods were too taken back as they too were not able to judge them with full impartiality so, Mahadev decided on a solution and solemnly announced among the Asuras and Devas "Very soon we Three Supreme Gods will bring into being a new force which will be born far away from here among the humans and his very journey will shape him to be the bearer of justice for all of the creation. He will be the embodiment of impartial justice whether to the Asuras or Devas for he will judge the being on the basis of his karma so I will warn all of you now that you should be careful of what karma you sow as you will soon be dealt with your karmafal." And so, the war of Asuras and Devas came to a pause. This is the story of a boy whose destiny was written before he was born, his very being was conceptualized but the Supreme Gods as he was born with the fraction of the three Supreme Gods. **It's my second novel as the first one is on pause as I am out of further plot for that one but this will be a blast because it is based on my cultural myth but there will be some changes so you can say it's my original work just taken some inspiration from the myths so whoever is reading and if he knows about the original history then don't criticize me for making the changes as I am writing a novel and I, in my full conscience am very respectful of the Gods and our culture.**
